The 'theory of gravity' is not evidence. It is metaphysical because it attempts to explain evidence.

So do you oppose the teaching of the Theory of Gravity, or consider it non-scientific? In fact, are you willing to throw out all science that is not based on direct observation?

you are operating from a false definition of evidence.

Maybe you can clear all this up for us then. What is your deinition of evidence? References, please.

It's not a game. It's deadly serious. You just can't see it.

I'm not sure what the "it" is to which you refer, but the game I mentioned is the one where you make any evidence-based assertion and I refute it with a fantastic baseless equally-valid explanation.

Now you've got it! The two theories (evolution/creation) are merely two different metaphysical interpretations of the same evidence.

That's the point. Evolution is just as metaphysical as creation.

Good job Spanky!

Your questions are too metaphysical.
